Ferra Minha Vida

Raffa Torres' song 'Ferra Minha Vida' delves into the complexities of love and the fears that often accompany it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the transition from youthful fearlessness to the cautiousness that comes with adulthood. Torres uses the metaphor of a roller coaster to illustrate how, as children, we are unafraid of taking risks, but as adults, we become more apprehensive. This shift is poignantly captured in the lines, 'É que essa fase adulta / É menos frio na barriga e mais medo de altura,' highlighting how the thrill of new experiences is often replaced by the fear of potential falls.

The chorus, 'Então me ama / Ferra minha vida / E faz voar borboletas na minha barriga,' is a plea for love that transcends these fears. Torres is asking to be loved in a way that reignites the butterflies in his stomach, a sensation often associated with the excitement and nervousness of young love. He yearns for a love that is less about the calculated caution of adulthood and more about the spontaneous, carefree nature of youth. This desire is further emphasized in the repeated line, 'Hoje eu te quero mais menina e menos mulher,' suggesting a preference for a love that is innocent and unburdened by the complexities of adult life.

The song also touches on the idea that true living comes from embracing love, despite the risks. 'A gente não ama por medo de sofrer / Mas não vive enquanto não amar,' encapsulates the notion that avoiding love to prevent pain ultimately leads to a life half-lived. Torres encourages taking the leap, even if it means potential heartbreak, because the experience of love is what makes life truly vibrant and meaningful. The song is a beautiful reminder that vulnerability and the willingness to embrace love, with all its uncertainties, are essential to a fulfilling life.
